If you could be a character from a book, movie, or play, who would you choose to be and why?

If I could be any character from a book, I would want to be the character Alex from "The Land of Stories." I would choose to be this character because she is someone who is not only cool under pressure, but she turns out to be a fairy in the book. When I was little, I always played games acting as someone with powers. I guess I've always dreamed of having super powers, and Alex is kind of a super hero in this story.
